He has submitted his findings to the Academy of Sciences for further research by scholars.
It's lamentable that even with a system, I still went astray for so many years, but Gao Jun, who just entered the extraordinary realm, got back on the right track.
His future, his path, will surely lead him further.
Gao Jun said, "I only ask to be loyal to Leopard Court, and I don't care what I do."
"Haha, you're quite the smooth talker, but there's no need for that in front of me. I know you're lying," Qin Che said with a half-smile, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light, exuding authority.
Gao Jun blushed: "I know I was wrong. I want to join the military or contribute to the academic field."
"Yes, because these two departments earn more money," Qin Che said. "The cabinet will treat the families of military meritors well. You have made great contributions again this time. In a few days, I will personally confer a title upon you."
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Gao Jun was moved to tears.
"However, the war is over, and there probably won't be any fighting for a long time to come. Go to the Land of Sages. We are continuing to excavate the ruins in full swing. As an extraordinary being, you will be mainly responsible for protecting the safety of the scholars on the ice plains. Of course, if you want to go to places like Western Shu, Northern Plains, or Central Plains, I will support you. I can even give you a team so you can find projects to work on yourself. The Ministry of Finance will allocate funds for you."
Gao Jun quickly shook his head: "Your Highness, I am not capable of doing such complicated things. I will go to the Ice Plains instead."
"Hahaha, good, very good."
Qin Che stood up and patted Gao Jun on the shoulder: "The future of the kingdom still belongs to young people like you."
Gao Jun looked somewhat embarrassed...
The prince looked to be only in his early twenties, about the same age as him. Although he was actually in his eighties or nineties, it still felt awkward.
After having the old gerbil send Gao Jun away, Qin Che flipped his hand and took out the Earth Essence Stone from his personal space, examining it carefully.
"It's astonishing. It seems to contain a universe, filled with countless energies and rife with violence and disorder. It's a chaotic stone, like Pangu's egg," Qin Che murmured to himself.
The Ice King guarded it for over a dozen centuries, nearly going mad, and his people turned into mummies, but he gained thousands of years of immortality.
The energy it contains is not to be underestimated; it forcefully fertilized the Icefield King, transforming him into a supreme demigod.
"Hmph, the sea creatures are quite audacious. They stole the essence stone right in front of me, and now they want to just flip through the book and let it go? It's not that simple." Qin Che's gaze turned cold.
He needs to investigate and hold the underwater people accountable. They broke the rules; he should have just been their observer, but instead he insisted on interfering in this war.
Since you've already entered this game, you should bear the consequences.
One thing at a time, this matter must be handled by the people of the Undersea.
Suddenly, a beam of light emanated from the spirit stone, filling the entire room!
Qin Che was stunned. The spirit stone in his hand melted in his palm and disappeared without a trace!
"What's going on?" Qin Che was shocked. His palm was empty, and the enormous energy seemed to have vanished completely.
At the same time, a system notification sounded in Qin Che's mind—
[The system has detected immense energy from the Chaos Stone and is entering final update mode.]
[The final version update is expected to take 100 years to complete.]
Progress: 0.01%.
Qin Che: ……
Holy crap! I just got it, barely had time to enjoy it, and your system snatched it away? And you even used it as energy for updates, stealing it without permission, how shameless!
Qin Che was speechless, especially when he saw the system notification that it would take '100 years', he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"What final version update? It takes so long..." He was speechless. Although a century was nothing to him, it was still a long time.
"However, the prompt says it's a Chaos Stone... What is a Chaos Stone?" Qin Che wondered again, and after looking at the system prompt once more, he fell into deep thought.
It seems that the system exists at a higher level than the Earth Essence Stone.
It can actually absorb it as energy, so domineering. And there's another point: after Qin Che advanced to demigod, sometimes when he looked back on the past, he transmigrated and was equipped with a system. Is there a reason for that?
Years later, Qin Che has become a powerful king and supreme being in the wasteland.
But deep down, he was always just an ordinary mortal on that azure Earth, a working-class man striving for a house, money, and women.
"Could my own transmigration be related to the system? And what kind of existence is the system?"
Qin Che thought deeply that it could simulate the world and turn the virtual into reality. The technology involved was unimaginable and might not even be a product of his dimension.
Qin Che never thought of himself as a savior who transmigrated here, but undoubtedly, he has been getting stronger and going further and further down the path of life over the years.
With great power comes great responsibility, and Qin Che had no choice but to do it.
Thus, it gradually developed into what it is today. He ended the war, found new technologies, and solved problems such as hunger...
It was he who drove away the invaders, became a demigod, and was regarded as a pillar of humanity. Everything seemed predestined, yet Qin Che felt it was all his own choice.
Only products from high latitudes can accomplish such mysterious feats.
For so many years, Qin Che had never thought of 'going home', but now that he had reached this level and realm, he was homesick and longed to return.
In his previous life, he had parents and friends, and people he cherished.
But if he really had the chance to go back and was given a choice, he probably wouldn't be able to give up his family and friends here.
"Master, what are you thinking about?" Just as Qin Che was lost in thought, a gentle voice greeted him.
